First terrain pics

[Turminator8]

These are my first terrain pics. I'd appreciate some constructive criticism.

 

[~Void~]

Some of them are pretty nice. The two major things you should work on are avoiding steep slopes (especially over-smoothed steep slopes; leave some jaggedness) and avoiding doodad spamming.

 

[Turminator8]

thanks, which 1(s) did u like best btw?

 

[Bob27]

Well they could all really use some kind off fog, and like Void said you should avoid doodad spamming. In the second one I really don't like the tint of the shrubs. They should probably be more orange then the red colour you have got them as at the moment. Also in the second last one I think that the ground around the volcano is way to flat. But apart from that and what Void has already said they look pretty good.

I know... fog is my biggest weak spot... do you know of any really good tuts that explain what/how to use fog?

scenario > map options > check use terrain fog (z start betwen 0 and 2000, z end 5000+)
and chose teh colors and press f to view fog

in case u didnt knew that ^^ cuz i can see the only fog u used is black...

the picz are really nice kinda spammy 4, 5 and 6 show the end of the world wich is not pretty to see... and those are some epic sized carrots there

my favorite is pic 1, i liked how u used the rocks ^^

i suggest using fooged sky to make it blend in with teh fog

ye it deserves a cookie gj

Thanks,
Only prob I'm having with the "doodad spam" is that when I put some shrubs, I keep hearing myself say "a lil more" "maybe just a bit more" and then it becomes what u guys call Doodad spamming, I understand what ur sayin, but i've seen a lot of "epic picz" with the ground being spammed with shrubs to make it look like realistic grass.

And i used a dark red fog on my last pic =P

yes u can spam shrubs but make them smaller to resemble real grass not the size of a footman D:

 

[Turminator8]

btw added 2 more.... i know they're still kinda doodad spammed... but I think they look cool

Tell meh what I should do different for the last 2

 

[raid1000]

u made the doodads to big and teh shitty texture is showing >_>

 

[Turminator8]

ok I added another picture.(not the snowy one, that was one I did really fast) Tried to focus on some more fog and making the grass doodad a lil smaller. Tell me what you think and/or what I can do better.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

my favorite its the orc bases.. with the fogy sky

good job

 

[Turminator8]

thanx I like that one the best too... I just discovered the cloud doodad =)

 

[Belgarath]

Woahh. The last one and the orc base look rather realistic. The sort of sky you'd expect, in the pink one, that peaceful spring/summer atmosphere...

 

[Black Crown]

I liked the last one alot, I liked the vibrant colors of it and the hill top was a nice addition. Good work, keep it up.

 

[raid1000]

Sir the last one is pure PWNZ0R!
a word of advice: before u printscreen ur terrains try "letherboxing" the image (press x) but only if u want

 

[Turminator8]

thnx every1 and thnx for the advice

 

[TubeSock]

I liked it a lot, especially the House on the Hill one. Could you attach the fence model you used in that one? It looks really good and I don't think I have it.

[Dagguh]

Barrens own.

 

[bounty hunter2]

My favourites are the orc base plus the night elf pinkish one. The rest are decent but not to good. As said before to many dodoads.

 

[Turminator8]

yeah the last few were made after the suggestions and i guess they really helped.

 

[Belgarath]

Really nice there too, good job on tauren ville. GREAT job on the grass :>

 

[HellslayerX15]

loved the House on da hill

 

[Dantark]

So i'm not a terrain artist but i'm tryed to draw something. But it becomes more like playable map area than a terrain picture. I cannot draw something like THIS because it is very nicy. At first a have a problem with screenshooting this. When i'll upload my first terrain please help me how to correct it. I will post it here.

 

[Labiathan]

I really liked all of them, especially house on da hill. Great work man. Better then mine

 

[Lee_Go]

Woah, I just looked at them and the barrens and house on da hill, they are just really great, the others is the obvious spam thing but never the less nice.
I just kind of realised in The house on da hill, you used candles, as opposed to lanterns. Im just curious if theres a reason behind it, it seems lanterns would fit the scene better than candles.

 

[Turminator8]

I tried lanterns and they seemed to stand out too much i didnt like em

 

[Lag_Reviews]

Nice Terrains.

Hey,

Nice Terrains I liked all of them and reckon you should become a terrain editor for maps or something because you have brilliant talent in the art of Warcraft 3 terrain making.

My two favorite terrains out of the lot would have to be lavaland and dessert canyon, I just love the uniqueness of them both and they were not overcrowded with doodads.

You could improve on a few minor things but you just have to remember it isn't about over-crowding with doodas as such than to the texture and style of the terrain aswell.

Good job on your terrains and I hope you will go far,

Ps: What are you going to use all your terrains for?

 

[PlasmaBear]

Really nice terrains!
